In Mexico, a new independent left-wing movement has defeated the country's elites. Following current President AMLO, President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum and their Morena party won the 2024 elections in a landslide. Ben Norton is joined by journalist José Luis Granados Ceja to discuss what their "Fourth Transformation" (4T) means for the US, China, Russia, Latin America, and the global economy.

80% approval rating is insane honestly. How many other countries could compete with that? I know CPC has higher. I would imagine NK does as well.
I hope the keep pushing left. It would be amazing to watch the living standards in Mexico surpass the US. The cope and mental gymnastics will become a new sport.
